Growing Instructions
When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3 inch) pots of compost and maintain a minimum temperature of 15C (59F). Pot on later into 10cm (4 inch) pots for stronger plants for planting out. Plant out end of May, or earlier if in a heated glasshouse, or when first flowers are showing. Allow 3 plants per growbag, 25cm (10 inch) pots or plant into the greenhouse soil. Outdoors plant out from early June, after hardening off and once frost risk has passed. Plants will require support if grown as cordons. Feed with tomato fertiliser once first fruits setting.
Aftercare Instructions
Prefers a good quality compost and warm conditions. Harvest late July to October.
